Applicant had threshold locus standi but failed to show an arguable case: teaching Jawi as a script of the national language is not, on the evidence, instruction in a religion other than the student's own, and the Cabinet's decision on an education policy concerns non-legal factors that are not amenable to judicial review; therefore leave was properly refused.
